Hi

I'm Mike and my aim is to bring you the best knives available today from around the world.

Whilst my main interest is handmade and custom knives, I have recently had more and more to do with collectable knives due to trading and the buying of collections.  I will be expanding my stock levels with a good selection of quality collectable knives and so that I can offer a complete service for the discerning knife buyer I will also be offering my picks from the best production knives available worldwide.

There has been a huge increase in demand for Damascus blades recently and across the internet you will find large numbers of Damascus knives for sale but be aware that not all Damascus is created equally.  Damascus is basically two different types of steel forge welded together and then acid etched so as the pattern between the materials is visible, not all steel types are compatible for this process and although they may look pretty they couldn't cut butter.  I guarantee that all the Damascus knives you see on the following pages are of known steel types which are compatible with each other, properly forged and heat treated so as to be able to cut like a real knife should.

KNIFE CRIME: There has been much written in the media of late about this, I am therefore implementing a new policy to ensure that I sell only to responsible knife collectors and users, I will now require either a telephone call for age verification purposes or a written and signed age declation with an order.  I will not dispatch knives to email only contacts.  I'm sure this will do little to stop the average thug taking a knife from the kitchen drawer but as these are age restricted products I must do all I can to prevent there sale to minors.  An inconvience to us all but a small price to pay for the continuation of our hobby or tool use.
